Frequently Asked Questions
How much money you make will vary week by week depending on how busy your city is, what city you drive in, what events are going on, the weather and other factors. I have been able to consistently make $1500 – $2000 driving only 5 days a week, 7-8 hours each day!
For drivers working 6-7 days a week (10 hours on average), that number is close to $2500-$3000.
Uber has a limit of 12 hours online the application in a 24 hour period. If you are online for 12 hours you must rest 8 hours before driving again. This is party of the road safety regulations.
